Device and method for slicing large cakes and other baked goods
A configurable cutting device for large cakes and other baked items that provides varied shapes and dimensions of cut pieces using a single cutting motion. The handles are ergonomically designed, decorative and provide control of the blades, and the ability to apply increased downward pressure for increased cutting force without direct contact with the blades. The device can be folded down and/or disassembled for easy cleaning and storage.
Onion chopper with spiralizer insert
An onion chopper includes a container having a bottom and a plurality of sidewalls extending upwardly and terminating in a rim. A lid is attached to the container at a pivot location for movement between a closed position adjacent the rim and an open position pivoted away from the rim. A tray is removably supported atop the container, and defines a central opening positioned between a forward end and a rearward end. A spiralizer insert is removably attached to the tray within the central opening, the spiralizer insert having a central spindle and a blade extending radially outward from the central spindle.

Food processing system and interchangeable actuated accessories
A food processing system includes a base and an actuator that is releasably mounted to the base. The actuator may have an unactuated position and an actuated position. Numerous accessories each may be individually and interchangeably mountable to and releasable from at least one of the base and the actuator. Each attachment may perform a food processing function when the actuator is moved from the unactuated position to the actuated position.
Onion chopper
An onion chopper includes container, a blade tray, and pivoting lid. The blade tray is removably mounted on an upper rim of the container and includes a sweeper positioned at one end of the blade tray. The sweeper is dimensioned to fit within the sidewalls forming the container to be used to clear chopped food bits from the container after they are cut by the grid of blades.
HYDRO-MECHANICAL CUTTER
A food product cutting system can include a food product carrier for carrying food product circumferentially around an axis of rotation, where the food product carrier includes food cutters each having a knife and a corresponding pusher. Each knife is for receiving and engaging with food product, and each pusher is slidably coupled with a knife and movable for pushing food product out of engagement with the food cutter. The food product cutting system can also include a track oriented generally circularly with respect to the food product carrier. The track can be arranged at varying radial distances from the axis of rotation and coupled with followers. Each follower can be connected to a corresponding pusher. In operation, food product moved into the knife of a food cutter and carried around the axis of rotation is incrementally pushed out of engagement with the food cutter by the corresponding pusher.
Produce slicer
Produce slicers for slicing produce include a frame. A blade assembly is removably and interchangeably received within the frame. A pusher head is removably and interchangeably received within the frame. The produce slicer includes a cover, at least one target ring in the cover defines a first target area. The blade assembly includes at least one blade set with a first frame bar and a second frame bar and a plurality of blades extend therebetween. The pusher head includes a pusher head body and at least one produce pusher with a plurality of fins extending in a direction away from the pusher head body.
Fruit cutting apparatus
A fruit cutting apparatus includes an appliance housing having a bottom wall a body portion extending upwardly therefrom. A cutting chamber is coupled to the appliance housing and includes a continuous side wall defining an open top and bottom. A rotating platform assembly is coupled to the appliance housing and has a second portion extending upwardly into the cutting chamber, the rotating platform assembly including a support surface having a plurality of prongs configured to impale and secure the fruit piece. A cutting blade is positioned in the body portion and is slidably movable between deployed and retracted configurations. An input assembly enables selection of a cutting style, each selection being associated with programming instructions that cause a processor to selectively actuate the blade to deploy, orient its blade tip, and actuate the rotating platform to rotate the fruit piece as it is cut as selected.

FRY CUTTER AND CUBER
A cutting device (1) for cutting an edible product (3) into pieces, the cutting device (1) including a base frame (5), a main receiving area (7) for receiving the edible product (3) to be cut, a main pushing assembly (9) for selectively pushing the edible product (3) to be cut, and a main cutting assembly (13) disposed about the base frame (5), for receiving and cutting the edible product (3) into a series of main cuts, via an array of holes (15), provided by a main cutting interface (17). The cutting device (1) further includes a preliminary cutting assembly (19) removably mountable about the base frame (5) for first receiving and cutting the edible product (3) into a series of preliminary cuts, via an array of holes (21) provided by a preliminary cutting interface (23), prior to insertion of the edible product (3) into the main receiving area (7), wherein the edible product (3) is ultimately cut into a series of pieces resulting from the passage of the edible product (3) through at least one of said main and preliminary cutting interfaces (17,23) of the two different cutting assemblies (13,19) of the cutting device (1).
